Little Games

Little games we play,

supposed to represent real life,

but measuring only our ability

to guess the answer.

Don’t be sluggish

or combative.

Play along

with enthusiasm.

Pretend you don’t see the trick:

Fake

Phony

Artificial

Wear your favorite smile!

And when we’re through,

(Congratulations.)

have a bitter laugh,

and sigh for the wasted time.

Tomorrow we return to reality
